Is it? What about Autohotkey, or Visual Studio?

Two very different solutions. Autohotkey is a scripting language for specific tasks, while Delphi is unbounded in this sense. And Visual Studio has no RAD concept.
Visual Studio has WinForms, which is pretty RAD.
And I think preferable to the XML split of code and GUI that is web like and how Microsoft’s other frameworks work.
It is absolutely preferable in that sense. The web-esq interface approach is far harder than it needs to be for small applications with basic interfaces.
